unless you declare to switch party affiliation. I don't like it. You should support your party and it's selection process. It used to be only Dems or Repubs could vote and only in their party's primary. That is the way it should be to avoid hanky panky. And if you vote for a third party or independent in the general election, you are sure to lose.

When I was young in Texas the most important election was the Democratic primary because Democrats always won the general election. That was a long time ago before a guy named John Tower upended it all.
